I’m in the middle of configuring a fresh Nextcloud instance on a Linux server and have just hit the familiar warning that external storage won’t work because smbclient is missing. I have full root / sudo access, but I’d rather have someone experienced handle the package installation, required PHP modules, and any config tweaks so that “SMB/CIFS” and “SMB/CIFS using OC login” options show up and test successfully inside Nextcloud. What I expect from you • Install the smbclient binary and its PHP bindings on the server. • Enable and verify the corresponding Nextcloud app (External Storage Support). • Confirm, through the Nextcloud admin panel, that mounting SMB shares is now available and functional. • Provide a brief list of commands or steps you ran so I can document the process. The server is already up, SSH is ready, and the job should be straightforward for anyone comfortable with apt/yum–based package managers and typical Nextcloud permissions. i provide ssh access via remote desktop
